Everything a program message needs.
Your domain, your timing, each person’s name. No code, and no mailing tool on the side.
Spread the load
Schedule any broadcast for a date, time and timezone. Emails can also be spread over 1 to 24 hours instead of hitting every inbox at once.
Personal by default
Insert a first name, the company or any profile field, in emails, Slack messages and Teams cards alike. Everyone reads a message written for them.
Drafted by the AI assistant
Describe what you need. The AI assistant drafts the email in English or French, or creates a survey and the email that invites people to answer it.
Test before it goes out
Send a test email, Slack message or Teams card to up to 10 colleagues, then duplicate the broadcast next month instead of starting over.
The right admins
Choose which admins can create broadcasts, and keep each one to the broadcasts they manage.
Connected to RandomCoffee
Not another mailing tool. A piece of your programs.
Every broadcast uses what RandomCoffee already knows about your people.

Common questions about broadcasts
Which channels can I send a broadcast on?
Email, Slack or Microsoft Teams, chosen for each broadcast. Emails go out from your own verified company domain. On Slack, each person gets a direct message from the RandomCoffee app; on Microsoft Teams, a card in their chat with the RandomCoffee bot.
Do I need design skills to write a broadcast?
No. Each channel has its own editor with a live preview: drag-and-drop for emails, blocks for Slack messages and Teams cards (text, images, buttons, columns). Start an email from blank or a saved template, or ask the AI assistant for a first draft. Send a test to up to 10 colleagues before it goes out.
What can I measure after sending?
For emails: delivered, opened, clicked, bounced and unsubscribed, as counts and rates, plus each recipient’s status and dates. For Slack and Microsoft Teams: who each message was sent to.
Who receives a broadcast?
By email, the people in the saved audiences you select, built on profile fields (including fields synced from your HRIS) or on program activity such as the number of meetings, with the recipient count shown before you send. On Slack or Microsoft Teams, the members of the channels or teams you pick where RandomCoffee is installed.
Can I schedule a broadcast?
Yes. Send it right away or at a specific date and time, in the timezone of your choice. Emails can also be spread over 1 to 24 hours.
Who can send broadcasts?
Workspace admins. You choose which admins can create broadcasts, and you can limit an admin to the broadcasts they manage.
